Using HubAction in DeviceHandler seems to break events in Parse

Hi,

I have a device handler where I have a refresh command handler function that creates a hub action. The hub action response gets succesfully parsed in Parse, which generates an event that should update a value tile. It’s like the event gets swallowed and doesn’t get processed resulting in not updating the value tile and not appearing in the Device Event List.

If I use the simulator to feed a fake HubAction message into the parse method, it works fine, which tells me it’s the hubaction that breaks the Eventing.

Please help.

Thanks

Here is the code

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

 metadata {
definition (name: "Temperature Sensor", namespace: "smartthings", author: "SmartThings") {
	capability "Temperature Measurement"
	capability "Sensor"
    capability "Refresh"
}

// simulator metadata
simulator {
	status "Test Temp Response": "index:17, mac:B827EB3D953C, ip:C0A80014, port:1F90, requestId:f355e742-c837-4125-9053-d85fd599ba6c, headers:SFRUUC8xLjEgMjAwIE9LDQpTZXJ2ZXI6IHNwcmF5LWNhbi8xLjMuMw0KRGF0ZTogVHVlLCAxOCBPY3QgMjAxNiAyMjozMDowNSBHTVQNCkNvbnRlbnQtVHlwZTogYXBwbGljYXRpb24vanNvbjsgY2hhcnNldD1VVEYtOA0KQ29udGVudC1MZW5ndGg6IDE5, body:ewogICJ2YWx1ZSI6IDI5LjUKfQ=="

did you ever get a reply to this ?
